FRANK ZAPPA Meets THE MOTHERS OF PREVENTION (European Version) MINT
FRANK ZAPPA Meets THE MOTHERS OF PREVENTION (European Version)1986 UK EMI (EMC 3507)
GREAT COPY WHICH LOOKS UNPLAYED AND SOUNDS LIKE-NEW
Most of the material on side 2 were realised on the synclavier. The compositions were performed or entered by Frank Zappa. Re-synthesis, sandwiching, sample trimming, etc. by Bob Rice.
The original version of this album contained political material which would not have been interesting to listeners outside the U.S. This special European edition contains three new songs not available in the U.S. album. We hope you appreciate the difference
MATRIX: EMC 3507 A - 1 - 1 - / EMC 3507 B - 1 - 1 - 1 - X
Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention is a transitional album that sees Zappa turning away from rock and putting more time into his Synclavier compositions. This is a year away from the computer-only Jazz From Hell. So the album presents a handful of computer pieces , one rock song and one rock instrumental, and a couple of attempts at pairing real performers with the computer.
Most importantly, the U.S. version of Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention contained "Porn Wars," a sound collage of excerpts from the PMRC hearings -- the lobby group wanted a law instructing record companies to put warning stickers on offensive albums.
The LP's title was inspired by that particular piece (the other tracks don't relate to the subject) and yet the version released in Europe, Japan, and Canada -- which sported inverted black and white on the cover -- did not include "Porn Wars," but three replacement tracks (two on Synclavier and one rock song)
